Santiago

Hello, this time I will talk you about the city where I live and where I was born, Santiago. Is the capital of Chile, it’s very big, it has a lot of citizens about six millions, it’s the most populated city of this country. The rhythm of life is very fast, and sometimes this can be a little stressing. It’s very difficult to talk about all the bad things that the city has, or about the goods, because it’s a very different city in many ways, but maybe a bad feature can be this, the differences; that exist in the society, the exclusion in the periphery, in the neighbours. The social exclusion it’s too big, and breach between rich and pours it’s abysmal, the people can watch this with their owns eyes, you can be walking in a street, and in one side you can see great houses, very luxuries and for the other side pour houses, very humble.
About the good things of the city, can be the touristic attractive that the city has, is a city full of history, because this was first city founded in Chile; has historical places like the Santa Lucia Hill, the Historical neighbours, and well have all the things that a modern city can have, distraction places, commerce, shops, etc. Personally the things that I prefer of the city are the parks and the open places.
I think this city would be a better place for live if the contamination decrease, because the smog is too many and can be bad for healthy.
The tips that I would give to tourist are, the Bellavista Street, a classical place for diversion in pubs, the Santa Lucia and San Cristobal Hills, to have a good panoramic of the city, the central market, to know a little about the traditions and well basically that.
